Unknown Under what meteorological and fuel conditions does pyroconvection (fire-driven convection) become self-organizing into pyrocumulonimbus storms, and can operational coupled fire-atmosphere models predict this transition with sufficient lead time for evacuation decisions? u-pyroconvection-prediction-coupled-fire-atmosphere-models

Active Hypotheses

Hypothesis The climate-fire positive feedback loop (warming โ†’ drought โ†’ more fire โ†’ COโ‚‚ release โ†’ more warming) will cause burned area and carbon emissions from wildfire to accelerate nonlinearly under 2ยฐC warming scenarios, exceeding IPCC AR6 projections that treat fire as a linear response to climate forcing. high
